Abstract

The bibliographic research study was developed considering authors from 2005 to 2021. Its general objective is to account for the current level of students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their entry into Higher Education in Chile. Although progress has been made from the inclusive approach with implementation actions such as: accessibility and administrative actions, there is still a need to achieve a real inclusion of this university student in equal conditions in their professional training. The current system maintains a policy of invisibility as to their training process in the classroom. The Chilean institutions of higher education must assume a quality education from the political point of view, with awareness and training actions to know what a student with ASD means in all the strata, creating a welcoming and inclusive culture in their daily practices, specifically for their professional training.
